Like a national forest: I saw a lot of wood but I didn't get any.
Incredible animation does little to save the director from shooting the film in the wooden foot. The liberties taken with the original story (the omission of Toyland / Pleasure Island, the addition of Mussolini) do great disservice to a tale that has no need of tinkering.
If you're looking for a Pinocchio reimagining, maybe try the dark, naturalistic 2019 version?
